Episode notes
Claude Code Routines Automate Recurring Team Work
- Claire Vo shows Claude Code routines replacing a manual weekly newsletter task with an automated run every Monday at 6am.
- Her prompt reviews changelog.md in the docs folder, drafts customer-facing updates, and could later ping Slack or send HTML to a newsletter tool.
Outcomes Make Agents Iterate Toward Done
- Outcomes turn agent work into a rubric-driven loop where Claude self-grades and iterates until it meets a defined standard.
- Claire Vo compares it to producing a ship-ready PRD, with a markdown rubric and up to 20 passes against priorities and technical constraints.
Multi Agent Teams Become A First Class Primitive
- Anthropic now lets builders define multi-agent teams with an orchestrator and specialized delegates sharing one container and file system.
- Claire Vo imagines a PRD orchestrator managing strategy, critic, and engineering-review agents, each with different tools and perspectives.
